Implant failures and postoperative complications are often associated to the bone drilling. Estimation and control of drilling parameters are critical to prevent mechanical damage to the bone tissues. For better performance of the drilling procedures, it is essential to understand the mechanical behaviour of bones that leads to their failures and consequently to improve the cutting conditions. This paper investigates the effect of drill speed and feed-rate on mechanical damage during drilling of solid rigid foam materials, with similar mechanical properties to the human bone. Experimental tests were conducted on biomechanical blocks instrumented with strain gauges to assess the drill speed and feed-rate influence. A three-dimensional dynamic finite element model to predict the bone stresses, as a function of drilling conditions, drill geometry and bone model, was developed. These simulations incorporate the dynamic characteristics involved in the drilling process. The element removal scheme is taken into account and allows advanced simulations of tool penetration and material removal. Experimental and numerical results show that generated stresses in the material tend to increase with tool penetration. Higher drill speed leads to an increase of von-Mises stresses and strains in the solid rigid foams. However, when the feed-rate is higher, the stresses and strains are lower. The numerical normal stresses and strains are found to be in good agreement with experimental results. The models could be an accurate analysis tool to simulate the stresses distribution in the bone during the drilling process.

The boné drilling is a common surgical procedure in clinicai intei-ventions including the dentistry. Although not a novelty in medicine, the penetration of a sharp tool in the boné tissue continues to be a clinicai and surgical challenge, as many pertinent questions still remain without solutions. Mechanical damage to the boné tissue is one of the common complication associafed with the drilling process [l]. An excessive force generated by a cutting tool can lead to the formation of microcracks and fractures, and even cause permanent damage in the boné tissue that, in tum, can delay postoperative recovery [2]. The main goal of this paper is to investigate the effect of drill speed on mechanical damage during drilling of solid rigid foam materiais, with similar mechanical properties to the human boné. Experimental tests were performed on biomechanical blocks instrumented with strain gauges in different surface positions during the drilling process. Finite element (FE) simulations were performed to simulate the drilling process and validated with experimental results.
